Stress shielding following radial head arthroplasty: the impact of preoperative bone quality
We sought to assess if the medullary diameter to cortical width ratio (MD:CW), canal flair index (CFI), and canal fill (CF) of the proximal radius were associated with the presence of Stress shielding (SS) after a MoPyC radial head arthroplasty (RHA). (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Does retained cement or hardware during 2-stage revision shoulder arthroplasty for infection increase the risk of recurrent infection?
When treating chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after shoulder arthroplasty, removal of the implants and cement is typically pursued because they represent a potential nidus for infection. However, complete removal can increase morbidity and compromise bone stock that is important for achieving stable revision implants. The purpose of this study is to compare the rates of repeat infection after 2-stage revision for PJI in patients who have retained cement or hardware compared to those who had complete removal.

Conjoint Tendon Lengthening Improves Internal Rotation Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Cadaveric Study
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) is a common procedure for treating a variety of shoulder pathologies. However, many patients struggle with postoperative internal rotation deficits, which often hinder their activities of daily living. The conjoint tendon provides an anatomic barrier that can impede the postoperative internal rotation of the shoulder, and this study aims to evaluate the effect of a conjoint tendon lengthening on the glenohumeral range of motion following RSA.

Distal Biceps Tendon Repair Using a Double Intracortical Button Anatomical Footprint Repair Technique
Distal biceps tendon repair is usually performed via a double-incision or single-incision bicortical drilling technique. However, these techniques are associated with specific complications and usually do not allow for anatomical footprint restoration. It was the aim of this study to report the clinical results of a double intracortical button anatomical footprint repair technique for distal biceps tendon tears. We hypothesized that this technique would result in supination strength comparable to the uninjured side with a low re-rupture rate and minimal bony or neurological complications.

Anatomic TSA for B2 glenoids treated with asymmetric reaming has equivalent survivorship and patient outcomes compared to type A glenoids at mean 9 years follow-up
This study aimed to demonstrate that 1) B2 glenoids treated with corrective reaming have durable results and 2) offer similar results to Walch A1/2 in long-term follow-up. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Comparable low revision rates of stemmed and stemless total anatomic shoulder arthroplasties after exclusion of metal backed glenoid components: a collaboration between the Australian and Danish national shoulder arthroplasty registries
The stemmed anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty is the gold standard in the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. However, the use of stemless total shoulder arthroplasties has increased in recent years. The number of revision procedures are relatively low and therefore it has been recommended that national joint replacement registries should collaborate when comparing revision rates. Therefore, we aimed to compare the revision rates of stemmed and stemless TSA used for the diagnosis of glenohumeral osteoarthritis using data from both the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJR...

Hydrothermal ablation in recurrent or chronic olecranon bursitis: a prospective study
Olecranon bursitis can be difficult to treat, resulting in persistent or recurrent symptoms. Bursectomy is a frequently applied treatment option for refractory cases but has high complication rates. This is the first in-vivo study to investigate the safety and efficacy of hydrothermal ablation, a new treatment modality for recurrent or chronic olecranon bursitis that aims to cause thermal obliteration of the bursal lining by irrigation with heated saline.

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Within 6 Weeks of Proximal Humerus Fracture is Associated with the Lowest Risk of Revision
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become an increasingly popular treatment strategy in the management of complex proximal humeral fractures (PHF). However, no definitive consensus has been reached regarding the optimal surgical timing of RTSA following PHF, particularly considering nonoperative management is often a viable option. Therefore, the aim of this study was (1) to identify optimal timing intervals that maximize the likelihood of revision following RTSA and (2) to determine differences in revision etiologies using the identified timing intervals.

A review of the New Zealand National Joint Registry to evaluate the survivorship and revision rates of Nexel and Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty
Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is an appropriate surgical treatment option for a variety of conditions ranging from inflammatory arthritis to trauma. Due to a high complication profile, implant companies have attempted to improve patient outcomes with evolving design mechanics and philosophy. However, the Nexel TEA prosthesis has been criticized for its unacceptably high revision rate by other research groups in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survivorship and revision rates of the Nexel and Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty implant systems in New Zealand.

Funding Bias in Shoulder Arthroplasty Research
Prior research has shown that industry funding can impact the outcomes reported in medical literature. Limited data exists on the degree of bias that industry funding may have on shoulder arthroplasty literature outside of the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. The purpose of this study is to characterize the type and frequency of funding for recently published shoulder arthroplasty studies and the impact of industry funding on reported outcomes. We hypothesized that studies with industry funding are more likely to report positive outcomes than those without. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)
